Political, security, and economic problems are piling up in Syria, while many of the previous crises have not actually been resolved. Instead, they have largely been presented to the public as though they had been settled. The problem is that Syria’s crises are not separate issues. Political problems affect security, security problems affect the economy, and economic hardship fuels social and political tensions. Unless the root causes are addressed, every postponed crisis remains liable to erupt at any time. More troubling still is the continued portrayal of external forces as the sole source of the country’s crises, while ignoring the fact that a fragile and divided domestic landscape creates opportunities for external actors to intervene and expand their influence. Unresolved internal crises open the door to external interference, rather than the process working only in the opposite direction, as is often portrayed. External interventions may exacerbate crises and exploit them for their own interests, but they find the most favorable conditions when political partnership is absent, demands are marginalized, and disputes are left unresolved. Stability cannot be built by managing one crisis after another, nor through social media campaigns and trending topics that may dominate public debate for a few hours but cannot produce political consensus or build state institutions. The problem is that some people approach the state through the lens of public relations rather than politics, as though changing the rhetoric, launching campaigns, and creating trends could resolve the crises of a country exhausted by divisions. But reality cannot be managed through applause, and crises do not disappear simply because someone decides to stop talking about them. Syria needs to address the root of the problem: genuine political consensus, power-sharing, clear guarantees for all Syrians, and institutions capable of managing differences rather than turning them into conflict. Stability is not achieved by silencing crises, but by addressing their causes. Anyone who wants to shield Syria from external interference must begin by strengthening the domestic front through justice, partnership, and genuine representation. A cohesive domestic front reduces opportunities for intervention, while a crisis-ridden one gives external actors additional leverage. A country that postpones its crises does not overcome them; it merely allows them to accumulate until the cost of resolving them becomes even greater.

Protecting Syria’s ethnic and religious communities is not the concern of one group alone; it is a matter of justice, rights, and dignity for all Syrians. Alongside other Syrian communities, the Kurds have paid a heavy price in marginalization and violations of their rights. Today, it is not enough merely to condemn these violations. Those responsible must be held accountable, and clear and effective mechanisms must be established to protect all ethnic and religious communities, particularly the Kurds. A safe and stable Syria cannot be built by excluding its communities or marginalizing their rights, but through genuine partnership, recognition of everyone’s rights, and the guarantee of equality and justice for all Syrians.

Intensive drone activity has been reported across Syrian airspace for days, with a noticeable increase today, particularly over areas where jihadist groups are concentrated. This raises serious questions about what is unfolding behind the scenes. Are we witnessing new arrangements, or has a party been sacrificed in the pursuit of political interests? In Syria, deals appear to be struck behind closed doors, while ordinary Syrians are left to pay the price.

In Northeast Syria, the sacrifices made over the past decade by the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) and the Global Coalition in the fight against ISIS and extremism risk being squandered amid declining international engagement and a shift in the Coalition’s priorities. The scenes circulating today from Hasakah, where a demonstration took place under the protection of the central security forces of the Damascus government, evoke disturbing memories of the ISIS era and raise serious concerns about the resurgence of extremism. The growing threats facing Kurds, Christians, and other communities across the region demand urgent attention from international organizations and decisive action before civilians once again pay the price of international neglect. What is happening in Northeast Syria warrants serious international scrutiny. A decade of sacrifices in the fight against ISIS must not be allowed to go to waste, nor should the security of Kurds, Christians, and other communities be left at the mercy of rising extremism and shifting international interests. @coalition @UNHumanRights

There are many alarm bells ringing in Syria I wish our people peace, safety, and security.

In the new Syria, every region has the freedom to raise and educate its children however it wants!!: In Kurdish areas: children learn music, art, dance, and freedom of expression. 🎨🎶 In Deir ez-Zor: apparently, the curriculum is a little more…"hands-on." In one place, the child holds a musical instrument; in another, something else that could also be called a "teaching tool." New Syria is for everyone… but apparently, even the definition of “education” needs to be translated from one region to another!!

هل نحن أمام (بيجر) يتكرر في سوريا؟ 1/8 للمرة الرابعة خلال عشرة أيام، تنفجر مستودعات للذخيرة في سوريا. هذا التكرار يطرح أسئلة جدية، ويجعل من الصعب التعامل مع كل حادثة بمعزل عن الأخرى. وقد تشبه، من حيث النمط والغموض المحيط بها، عمليات (البيجر) في لبنان، وربما نطلق عليها لاحقاً: (بيجر سوريا). 2/8 من الناحية العسكرية، فإن تزامن التفجيرات وتكرارها خلال فترة زمنية قصيرة قد يرفع احتمالية وجود عمل متعمد، وإن كان ذلك لا يمكن اعتباره دليلاً بحد ذاته قبل تحديد أسباب الانفجارات. 3/8 إذا ثبت أن هذه التفجيرات كانت متعمدة، فإن استهداف مستودعات الذخيرة يعني عملياً محاولة لإضعاف القدرات العسكرية، ولا سيما إذا كانت المواقع المستهدفة تقع على امتداد خط إدلب،حلب،حمص،دير الزور. 4/8 إضعاف القدرات العسكرية، في هذا السياق، قد يعني الاستعداد لتصعيد مقبل، وربما لتصعيد ذي أبعاد دولية. وتزداد أهمية هذا الاحتمال عندما تتزامن التفجيرات مع حوادث أمنية أخرى وفي فترة زمنية متقاربة. 5/8 تسلسل الأحداث بهذه الصورة يستحق دراسة جدية: هل نحن أمام حوادث متفرقة؟ أم أمام نمط منظم ومخطط؟ الإجابة تحتاج إلى تحقيقات مهنية، وربط دقيق بين مواقع التفجيرات وتوقيتها وطبيعتها والحوادث الأمنية التي سبقتها أو رافقتها. 6/8 في المقابل، فيما يبدو أن السلطة في دمشق غافلة عن بعض هذه المخططات، أو غير قادرة على رؤيتها بوضوح، وسط حالة من الوهم التي تساهم في نشرها مجموعات (الترند) الشعبوية والعبثية، والتي شوهت الواقع وخلقت صدمات متتالية لدى الناس. 7/8 يضاف إلى ذلك التكبر وحالة عدم التواضع لدى بعض المؤيدين، والتي تحولت إلى أحد أكبر الأخطار على السلطة نفسها؛ لأن تجاهل المخاطر والاكتفاء بصورة وردية عن الواقع قد يمنع قراءة التحولات كما هي. 8/8 على العموم، يستحق الشعب السوري السلام. والسلام لا يمكن تحقيقه بالاحتكار، ولا بتكرار أخطاء النظام السابق، بل يحتاج إلى دولة قادرة على رؤية المخاطر مبكراً، ومؤسسات مسؤولة، ووعي حقيقي بما يجري على الأرض. سوريا تحتاج إلى السلام، والسلام يحتاج إلى وعي قبل فوات الأوان.

Pîroz be li 60 Milyon Kurd.. #Amdespor

In Syria, which has yet to rid itself of the legacy of Ba’athist racism, and here we are in the 21st century, all it takes is a Kurdish girl speaking her mother tongue for a bestial instinct, like that of a stray dog that bites, to awaken in the heirs of that mentality. A teacher bites a Kurdish student simply because she spoke Kurdish. This is what racism looks like when it descends from an ideology into an act of brutality, and when hatred of a language is turned into an attack on a child. And how much we Kurds still need to struggle to change this mentality - a mentality that has become a scourge upon both us and them; one that does not only harm Kurds, but poisons society as a whole and reproduces hatred and discrimination from one generation to the next.

1/10 Around this time in 2014, ISIS launched its assault on Kobani. For us, this was never simply a battle for a city. It was a struggle for survival to break ISIS’s advance and prevent Kobani from becoming a gateway to further expansion into other cities and villages. 2/10 I remember those days in every detail. Retreat was never an option. The men and women of YPG and YPJ stood to defend Kobani, its people, and the dignity of a city that had chosen to confront terrorism to the very end. 3/10 Kobani was never merely a story of weapons. It was the story of a people determined to hold on to their land; of men and women who chose resistance; and of civilians who paid a heavy price confronting an organization determined to impose death and slavery upon the region. 4/10 I am proud to have been part of the resistance in Kobani. But that pride is inseparable from my loyalty to the comrades we lost -men and women who left behind names that can never be erased, memories that can never be broken, and a history written in sacrifice. 5/10 There are cities whose names are written on maps, and cities whose names are written into the memory of peoples. Kobani was more than a city. It became a matter of survival and existence- a symbol of resistance that broke ISIS’s momentum. 6/10 Kobani fought and sacrificed for the whole world. In its trenches, the men and women of YPG and YPJ stood against a terrorist organization that threatened human life, freedom, and dignity. Their resistance became a defense of a cause far greater than the city itself. 7/10 Kobani’s victory came at a tremendous cost. Behind every street reclaimed, every home returned to its families, and every flag raised once again, there were names that would never return, comrades who gave their lives so that the city could stand. 8/10 Kobani did not break ISIS’s momentum with words, but through resistance, resilience, and sacrifice. From its ruins came a message that still echoes today: no force can subjugate a people determined to defend their land and dignity. 9/10 Every stone in Kobani bears the mark of a battle. Every street remembers the men and women who passed through it. Every corner tells a chapter of a resistance that was never fleeting, but became a turning point in the fight against ISIS. 10/10 For me, Kobani is not merely a memory of war. It is the memory of an entire generation that paid a heavy price confronting ISIS, and of comrades who left their names at the heart of the city and in the hearts of everyone who understands the meaning of resistance. youtu.be/Vk36pP_yD-Q?si=Yja0…

Her gotinek û her peyvek Kurdî ku li ser zimanê vê keça Kurd tê axaftin, wekî mîxek li darbesteya nijadperestiya Baas û li hemberî hemû kesên ku hebûna gelê Kurd înkar dikin, tê xistin. Em bi vê keçika Kurd û bi vê nifşê ku bi zimanê xwe diaxive serbilind in. Ev tenê gotinên zarokek nîne؛ ev dengê nasnameyekê, çandekê û dîrokekê ye. Em serbilind in ku ev yek ji berhemên rêveberiya xweser û ji encamên xebata wê ye؛ berhemek ku bandora wê ne tenê îro, lê belkî bi dehan salan li ser nifşên bê re bimîne.

1/8 Following the assassination of the Kurdish young man Sipan Hazni in the Hasakah countryside by an armed group, in a crime that bore the hallmarks of an ISIS-style attack, the Kurdish people in different areas took to the streets to demand the arrest and prosecution of those responsible. Kobani was at the forefront of these protests. 2/8 In response to the protests, Damascus sent forces from Aleppo to Kobani to disperse the demonstrators. These forces entered the city in military convoys and with a military posture that made it clear they appeared more like an occupying force entering hostile territory than security forces deployed to maintain order and protect civilians. 3/8 Their arrival was accompanied by insults directed at Kurds, chants of “Allahu Akbar,” and other racist chants. They also arrested a number of young men who had taken part in the protests. Such conduct has nothing to do with the role of security forces, whose duty is to protect citizens and safeguard their right to peaceful protest. 4/8 During their detention, the detainees were subjected to racist insults and abuse by prison personnel and officials. In response, the detainees protested and set fire to their blankets, while the prison administration failed to intervene in time to prevent the tragedy. 5/8 The fire inside the prison resulted in the martyrdom of nine civilian detainees and injuries to many others. This is a grave tragedy for which Damascus bears responsibility and which demands an independent and transparent investigation, as well as accountability for everyone who caused it or failed to prevent it. 6/8 Responsibility does not rest solely with the individuals who committed the abuses. It also extends to those who issued the orders, those who permitted such practices, and every official who failed to protect the detainees. Damascus must not transfer or conceal those involved in order to shield them from accountability. 7/8 Damascus must understand that continuing to deal with the Kurdish people, or with any other Syrian community, through a militia-like and racist mentality threatens civil peace and deepens division. What is needed is a state that protects its citizens-not forces that enter their cities as though they were an occupying force. 8/8 The demand is clear: an independent and transparent investigation, the identification of all those responsible, accountability for those involved, and justice for the victims and their families. A state cannot be built through denial and impunity. Justice does not have a statute of limitations.

After more than five years, my mission leading the Media Center of the Syrian Democratic Forces comes to an end, as the process of the SDF integrating into the Syrian Army moves forward. These years were not merely a mission or a position. They were one of the most dangerous and challenging periods of my life. It was a time when battles followed one another, threats constantly evolved, and the responsibility of conveying what was happening on the ground to the world was one that allowed no room for error. Throughout these years, I experienced the details of battles alongside my comrades, moment by moment. I managed statements, media coverage, and official briefings, and followed the documentation of field operations through images, footage, and words. Behind every statement there was a battle; behind every photograph there was a story; and behind every scene there were names, faces, and comrades who left an imprint that the passage of time cannot erase. I am proud of everything we accomplished at the Media Center, not simply because it was media work, but because we sought to preserve the memory of an entire period and to document what fighters, civilians, and comrades experienced on the ground, with all the victories and sacrifices those years carried. Above all, I am proud of my fallen comrades who lost their lives while carrying out their duties, and of all those who continue on their path today. I am also proud of everyone who worked at the Center before me — the administrators and staff whose efforts helped build its experience and establish its presence. What we accomplished did not begin with us, and it will not end with the departure of any one of us. Many faces passed before our cameras. Some of them are still with us, while others have become part of our collective memory. We preserved their photographs, voices, and moments. Perhaps the true value of those images lies in the fact that, at the time they were captured, we did not know that some of them would one day become the final photograph of a comrade who had passed away. My mission leading the Media Center is coming to an end, but this does not mean that I will stop striving or abandon the values and causes I have believed in throughout these years. Responsibilities and positions may change, but conviction does not. I will continue my path in whatever way I can, and I will remain alongside my comrades, faithful to everyone who shared these years with me and to everyone who sacrificed and gave their life along this path. Some missions come to an end, but what we believe in and strive for continues.

Personally, I contacted Eastern Region Commander, Commander Samir Oso, regarding statements attributed to him by the Turkish newspaper Türkiye concerning Israel’s role and his views on the integration process between the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) and the Syrian state. Oso confirmed that what was published by the newspaper and attributed to him on this matter is untrue, denying that he made these statements or expressed the positions attributed to him. Oso noted that the publication of these statements at this particular time was not accidental, considering that the newspaper deliberately chose to publish them during this sensitive phase in the region’s history. He stressed that any statements attributed to him should not be considered authentic unless they are documented in both audio and video.

بصفتي الشخصية، تواصلتُ مع قائد المنطقة الشرقية، القيادي سمير أوسو، بشأن التصريحات المنسوبة إليه من قبل صحيفة «تركيا» حول الدور الإسرائيلي ورؤيته لعملية الاندماج بين قوات سوريا الديمقراطية والدولة السورية. وأكد أوسو أن ما ورد في الصحيفة على لسانه بشأن هذا الموضوع غير صحيح، نافياً الإدلاء بهذه التصريحات أو المواقف المنسوبة إليه. وأشار أوسو إلى أن نشر هذه التصريحات في هذا التوقيت لم يكن اعتباطياً، معتبراً أن الصحيفة تعمّدت طرحها في هذه المرحلة الحساسة من تاريخ المنطقة، مؤكداً ضرورة عدم تصديق أي تصريحات تُنسب إليه ما لم تكن موثقة بالصوت والصورة.
